Free School Facts and Figures

"Free Schools are new, independent state-funded schools. They are free to attend and open to all children. They enable groups of parents, teachers, charities, existing schools or other organisations to respond to the need for a new school in their community - whether for extra places, to raise standards or offer choice." - New Schools Network

As a fairly new initiative, Free School Legislation is still developing. View the 'Free Schools: Facts and Figures' document by clicking this link to read more about what Free Schools are, how they are performing nationally and what impact they have had on education and communities since 2011.
